Skot

You state you have worksheets named 1, 2, 3 and so on.

Do you mean Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3 or just 1, 2, 3?

How far does "and so on" stretch?

Use of the INDIRECT Function is handy for incrementing sheet names in
formulas.

e.g.

Insert a new sheet and name it Namesheet.

Type your sheet names(other than Summary) in a list from A1:A10 (assuming 10
sheets)

=INDIRECT(Namesheet!A1 & "!" & "$A$4")

Drag/copy this down the column to return contents of A4 from each sheet in the
list from A1:A10

Adjust accordingly if your formulas go across rows.

If sheets are named Sheet1 etc. you can use

=INDIRECT("Sheet" & ROW() &"!" & "$A$4")

OR use Column() if across rows.

Unfortunatly, I will have 1000's of rows, which makes that a lengthy process.
Appreciate the help though.

Not sure if my subject helpeds explain much.

I have a "register" worksheet, that tabulates all the information
found on the other worksheets in the database. The register worksheet
is called "register" and the other worksheets are numbered "1", "2",
"3" and so on.

At the first row of the register worksheet, i have a lot of cells that
reference off the "1" worksheet. Simple links so i can see all the
information i want on one screen.
On the second row of the register, i want the same cell locations,
but on the second ("2") worksheet, and this continues through. The
first column contains the worksheet number "1", "2" etc.

I've hunted around with different fill techniques, and different
reference techniques but haven't been able to find anything.
Hopefully someone out there has a better idea than i do. Open to ALL
ideas as its is just a new spreadsheet.

If you have absolute references in the link in row 1 you can simply copy and
past down in row2, 3 and so on. then with Find and Replace you can Replace
Sheet1 with Sheet2 in the second row and so on.
